What would you do to help a new prior service soldier who came straight from MEPS to AIT without uniforms?

So, I have never seen this happen before but a prior service marine is now a Solider and came to AIT without any uniforms what so ever. I heard he had no break in service and came straight to AIT from MEPS. I don’t know if he is Guard or Active. He is not my Solider and I’m sure he is being take care of by the command but what would someone do to help him in his situation?

If you are prior service from the Army, and you I'm back on active duty while you still owe time on your military service obligation oh, you are required to retain your initial issue. That is a length of 8 years.
If the person came from another branch, had a break in service, or separated without owing any MSO, the MEPS will give them a memo authorizing and initial issue to be drawn from the local clothing and sales.
I was a transfer from the National Guard and I received a memo for initial issue

Thanks SFC Boyd, I couldn't remember how the prior service at Ft Gordon were getting their initial issue.

I saw this happen at Ft Gordon back in the 80s. I don't know how the prior service soldiers got the money, but they were sent to Clothing Sales with an inventory sheet to purchase issue items. This was done while they were at the reception unit during in-processing.

I would ask how long a break in service did you have, if he is a former Marine he would not have army uniforms
